[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Hypercard 2 dilemma

dmlevy@sierra.STANFORD.EDU (dmlevy) (10/17/90)

I am having trouble running Hypercard2 on my MacIIci. Each time I try
to run the program I'm greeted by the statement "Hypercard needs more
memory to run at this color setting". I'm running System 6.0.5, under 
multifinder, and have an Apple monitor set at 256 levels. I've got 4MB
of memory and am running Virtual so the finder thinks it has lots more
than 8MB in effect. 

I've tried increasing the memory allocation to Hypercard from 1Meg to
4Meg to 6Meg and that made no difference; I reduced the color levels
to 16, to 4, and finally to black and white. Only at the last did the
program work. I also tried running directly under the finder with no
success and I rebooted the computer without Virtual, also no help.

Comments and suggestions would be most welcome. By the way, I purchased the new
version at local User's group last Saturday.
